Katie Holmes strips off for sultry H Stern jewellery shoot

Katie Holmes has proven that being a wife and mother has done nothing to dampen her sex appeal with a sultry new shoot for H Stern jewellery.

The 33-year-old shows off the body that bagged her Tom Cruise in a series of photographs which are likely to leave few people looking at the jewellery.

Wearing nothing but skimpy underwear, in one shot Katie stares seductively at the camera through smokey eyes as her brown hair billows behind her.

Other shots show her frolicking on the beach in a white bikini, before she swaps it for a wet-look hairstyle and a smouldering gaze in a classic black one piece, with a strap slipping down her shoulder.

The campaign is the third she has done for H Stern, suggesting her signature look of sexy girl-next-door certainly sells jewellery.

Katie has been concentrating on projects other than her acting career of late, since TV mini series the Kennedys, in which she played Jackie Kennedy, failed to impress critics.

2011 also saw her make a guest appearance in sitcom How I Met Your Mother and take on the role of Erin in Jack and Jill alongside Adam Sandler, but she currently appears to have no projects in the pipeline for 2012.
